I had suggested, as did N.O.A.A. that there might be some light scattered showers around the area. I had a report from a friend of mine that he had a trace of rain during the afternoon at Farmington, about 6 miles from here. I did not have any here that I noticed. He said there was not even enough to get the pavement wet. So, light scattered showers were around, just not here.
The N.W.S. forecast no precipitation for the overnight, and the cloud cover was expected to decrease somewhat (64%/47%/41%/32%). The NEXRAD regional
composite radar still shows some showers in Northern Maine, but none here. There is still some precipitation showing up on the Weather Underground model forecast maps for tomorrow afternoon and evening. Those are expected to start after 18:00 hours and last into sometime Friday morning.
My Weather Stick is smiling due to the 66% relative humidity. Two of my electronic instruments forecast foul weather with falling barometric pressure, while the remote weather station calls for unsettled conditions with steady barometric pressure. The high temperatures recorded by the La Crosse and Min/Max Thermometer were 79.5°F and 73.1°F. Because the remote weather station temperature was taken after midnight it only showed 55.9°F, so that would have been the high for this morning at that point. It was also the low at that point. I think we will see variable cloudiness for the rest of the overnight and fairly moderate temperatures.
